Bending over like this to get my hands empty <br />Rummaging through the white trashcans out back <br />Of the Patent Office I find a kind of peace <br />Here in this warm-lit alley where no one comes. <br /> <br />Even the rats too they know that nothing new <br />Is going to get pitched out now--no formula, <br />Not one blueprint will ever be found in these <br />Bright bins whose futures are huge, pristine. <br /> <br />Old alleymouth grabbags my attention at times <br />I see the world flash by out there, glow-glow as <br />The floors of decontamination chambers- <br /> <br />I go back to my dull, boring search, foraging <br />For the feel it gives me of the thing which has <br />Invented me: that void whose sole idea I was.<br /><br />Bill Knott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/obsolescent/
